RED BANK, NJ--(Marketwire - July 8, 2008) - A new web-based, cross-platform, instant messaging (IM) application
that enables users to send self-destructing or regular IMs across AOL's
AIM, Yahoo's Messenger, MSN's Messenger and Google's Gtalk has been
introduced by BigString Corporation (OTCBB: BSGC). The free web application
incorporates BigString's patent-pending IM technology that allows a user to
send IMs which self-destruct without being copied, logged or screen-printed
by the recipient. The free service is available at
http://www.bigstring.com. In addition to enabling users to send IMs from one service to another, the
patent-pending IM technology leaves no trail or copy of the IM on any
server once the message self-destructs. The time for self-destruction is
set by the sender, and can be set to disappear in as little as a few
seconds to more than an hour. The sender can also choose a number of visual
effects for the self-destruction. A message will disappear in real time
simultaneously from both the sending and receiving IM screens whether the
message was sent to an account at AOL's AIM, Yahoo's Messenger, MSN's
Messenger, Google's Gtalk or BigString.

"Our new
web-based IM makes it very easy for IM users to have private conversations
with your current IM buddy lists without having to switch to a new
service," stated Darin Myman, President and CEO of BigString Corporation.
"Our strategy to quickly grow our IM user base revolves around creating
unique applications such as this one that leverages the tens of millions of
existing IM users."
